A forensic scientist had told a murder trial that the amount of blood splatter found in the kitchen of Nadine Lott's apartment suggested there had been a "sustained assault" on her when she was lying on the floor there.

Opening the trial of Daniel Murtagh, prosecution counsel John O'Kelly SC said Ms Lott suffered "severe blunt force trauma" and stab injuries at the hands of her former partner "in a sustained attack" in her Arklow home.
